| Show THE STATE OF UTAH notwithstanding the present masterly inactivity of the senate committee cub ofalie committee on territories having utah in charge consisting of senators faulkner bate and platt there ere substantial reasons for beU eving that the rawlins bill which passed the house will bo favorably reported by the subcommittee to the committee on terri borics and there is no doubt that if reported the whole committee will endorse the report of the committee subcommittee sub and report favorably to the decate in which case alie senate will pass the bill the present session there is little probability that the president would veto the bill though it is by no means to his liking or in accord with policy to augment the political power of the west which is already a most annoyance to his self complacency ency and his wall street lombard rothschild policy admitting that butali has a speedy prospect for the exercise of self governing and soverign representative power we are confronted with questions and considerations of the first magnitude why do we advocate statehood for two reasons first we are american in principal and practice we feel the irrepressible instincts of the american for independence and celt government we submit to guardianship until our growth and material development fit for sovereignty but being qualified for antinomy antu nomy we refuse to acquiesce in a provincial administration secondly we believe that the welfare of the country is to a profound degree with alie up building of a national policy in harmony with the industrial and agricultural interests of alie country rather than those of the money changers whoso interests are paramount with the present administration and leave been with those that have preceded for the past twenty years in this connection we dont intend to condone or minimize the faults of republican administrations any more than tho present democratic regime we dont propose to warble the dulcet notes of the mackoo for any party however flattering its promises and prospects there is a great shadow closing in over the nations of christendom the economic life blood is being congested in the money centers with the momentum of accumulated power already possessed by the money class esthe world can be kept in bondage and plunged into deeper serfdom for all the years that beem to hang in the balance with the present earthly state it will require honesty ability and eternal vigilance to disenthrall the country from the toils of the present monetary policy this issue is deeper than the parties for is in the nature of a conspiracy heading up in the leadership of both partied par tiep and controlling both on the real amphitheater both parties occupy common ground this is the power behind the here the democratic and republican leadership have a common cause hero the issue stands between the people and the classes here protection and free trade vanish as being of any importance except to divert attention from the fact that alio money power is controlling the destinies of tho nations in its own interest wo feel more interest in knowing that utah will take alio right stand whet lier republican or democratic than in being assured that she will become a state at all when she attains in congress will her power be exerted in behalf of the money monopolists or in the interest of the people when the gold ring ordain to cintli tho masses will utah eay yea or nay it is a time when men should be seeking for clear thoughts and sound principles there is a whole lot of fallacious catch words used and the people should know how to detect the fake hood that lies concealed in a winning phrase one is that every dollar must be equal to every other dollar this is eaid dimply to justify and perpetuate the outrage inflicted upon silver in it first degrade tho white money and then rank it up in comparison with a falsely appreciated gold dollar and liver ranks unchanged in value in relation to labor and commodities yet because it falls to carry the fraudulently inflated value of the gold standard it must be restricted or prohibited in its coinage in order to pre berve its token value in limited quantities on a par with the gold standard Is a great issue burning in the hearts of the american people and they are striking out blindly in order to effect ita solution that iesue is of an economic character they know that something should bo done to make the kindness and beneficence of god more real to their daily experiences they know that comfort and prosperity are promised to their lips and broken to their hearts the are testing party policies by their experiences and the is that they will alternately down one party alter the other until they wear out all the flimsy and superficial pretense and arrive at tho real meaning and cause of their misfortunes when that hour cornea the people will have learned alie great lesson with which the political events of today ere pregnant there is a whole let of men in utah in whoso cars gentle hope is singing her brightest melodies the question ie do they know anything do they comprehend the situation would they be worth anything if they got there are they men honest and faithful or are they pliable material clay in alie hat da of gold bug potters like carlisle mills and voorhees these are days that try mens souls and most of alie men who are likely to aspire to utah honors dont comprehend sharply enough to put their souls in jeopardy if they ever have a political conscience be it known to all that STANDARD intends to work for the light man in the republican ranks but whether bo be republican or democrat wo shall work for the man who will bo a man for a that |
